This review is from: Eric the Red and Leif the Lucky (Paperback)

This is a short little book with pictures that's age appropriate for ages 6 to 10. As far as text to drawing ratio per page, I would say that 1/3 is text, while 2/3 is a picture. Nothing to get excited about. Like a summary. There are much better books out there if you're looking for a detailed discription of the either person's life even for kids. It's great for what it is, but it really is like a throw-away and even the price doesn't seem to match up to the quality of actual text inside. The art is the best part of the book.
